I have spent most of last week with my Emacs editor and the OCaml development environment. Since I have some OCaml code to complete I will add more details soon.

Suffice it to say that this setup taxed me so much. OPAM does not seem to install easily in Windows. As is my wont in such cases I started with Cygwin and after two days switched to a Ubuntu VM. I didn’t think I was gaining much by reporting Cygwin permission issues to owners of OPAM Windows installers.

Utop is a toplevel for OCaml

Emacs elisp

It looks like this at this time and I use Gist because WordPress does not support Lisp or OCaml or Haskell yet. Filed a support ticket.

More about OCaml code later. This creates an associative list of tuples containing characters and the number of times they occur in a String. MultiSet is a module that is not shown either but as I mentioned I have more to write about this wonderful programming language.
